Thanks for the compliment and for watching! I have my eye on a Agfa 62mm Lens Hood. Mainly I needed the wide to shoot my videos. The M500 could probably go well with a telephoto lens, as it only has 10x optical zoom.

No problem. I got the 0.45x Digital Concepts version which looks absolutely identical to yours. I assume one is a rebadge of the other. When used with the 14mm (28mm equivalent) lens on a m43 camera it makes a BIG difference to the field of view. The outer areas are very soft – almost like a lens baby effect. I assume you are not seeing such a big difference due to the much larger crop factor of the video camera?

@EmilySmith77 Sorry for late reply. A lens has to have electronic contacts in order for the camera to recognize it. This is just a simple wide angle lens. Try going Manual mode. And auto focus. Play around. If you want your Nikon to be able to control aperture and focus, you need a wide angle Nikon lens.

Damian, it’s not really a lens, it it’s a Lens Adapter. They screw onto the Filter Threads of a DSLR Lens, and I assume that’s what you’ll be doing with your camcorder. Whatever brand you get, it doesn’t much matter because they all come from the same factory. They do seem to be well paired for the lenses they are advertised to fit, and there may be several different applications for the same adapter, and that’s probably why it says DSLR on it. Maybe it’s the most common use for it, and there aren’t as many camcorders around, now that virtually all cameras can also record video. There will be distortion, and that will happen with even a lower priced OEM lens. Considering the price, it’s really not so bad!
